MELVILLE, NY, September 9, 2025 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is excited to introduce the new EOS C50 cinema camera, the newest addition to Canon’s cinema EOS system. The EOS C50 is a compact, full-frame cinema camera featuring a brand new 7K full-frame CMOS sensor, 7K 60P internal RAW recording and 32 megapixel still photo capture, making it a true hybrid camera. Weighing approximately one and a half pounds, the EOS C50 is Canon’s smallest and lightest cinema camera ever, making it ideal for handheld and verité shooting.

The lightweight design and hyper-mobile form factor the EOS C50 camera meets growing demands from shooters who are increasingly looking for compact, ergonomic cinema cameras for a variety of settings and shooting styles. Excellent for large and small scale productions, documentary shooting in the field, social media video creation, sports, and more, the EOS C50 camera features a detachable top handle which adds two full-size XLR audio inputs, a start-stop button, and a zoom rocker for unbeatable agility. It also features an RF-mount, lending it native compatibility with a wide variety of Canon lenses, such as the new RF85mm F1.4 L VCM Hybrid Lens.

EOS C50 Camera Recording Options
At the heart of the EOS C50 camera is the 7K full-frame CMOS sensor, which is capable of a Dual Base ISO of 800 and 6400 in Canon Log 2, and 12-bit Cinema RAW Light recording at up to 7K 60P. This powerful sensor is coupled with a DIGIC DV7 processor. The EOS C50 is the first camera in the Cinema EOS lineup to feature the full frame 3:2 open gate recording. In addition to Cinema RAW Light and the standard XF-AVC, the EOS C50 camera also features XF- AVC S and XF-HEVC S recording codecs, proving an easy-to-manage naming system and folder structure, all while preserving metadata and recording in the familiar MP4 format.

Social media shooters will enjoy that the EOS C50 camera is capable of simultaneous crop recording when shooting in 4K DCI or UHD, allowing you to record at a chosen aspect ratio while also recording a cropped portion of the frame in 2K. When shooting in simultaneous crop mode, the three format options include: 9:17, 9:16, or 1:1.

For those looking for camera connectivity, the EOS C50 camera supports XC protocol which allows for remote control over IP via Wi-Fi^® or a compatible third-party USB-C ethernet adapter. The EOS C50 camera is also compatible with the Multi Camera Control App and features native integration of frame.io camera to cloud.

The new RF-Mount RF85mm F1.4 L VCM Hybrid lens is the latest addition to Canon’s line of VCM lenses, designed for shooters who increasingly are seeking powerful options whether shooting stills or video content. The RF85mm F1.4 L VCM has a focal length of 85mm, making it perfect for portrait-style shooting. The lens provides beautiful background blurring, as well as a F1.4 Maximum aperture, and well-controlled focus breathing.

Firmware Updates for EOS C400, C80, C70, and R5C Cameras
A new firmware update for select Canon Cinema EOS cameras bring in a few of these bleeding-edge features, available later this year. New firmware updates will enable full frame 3:2 open gate recording (EOS C400), view assist in media mode, quality improvement of focus peaking, improved assign buttons, improved Joy-Stick operability (EOS C80 and EOS C400), and more.

Canon C50 Launch Video Released Prematurely

By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 9, 2025

Photorumors noticed a video about the Canon C50 a few hours ago, but it has been pulled, as you can see below, so I have provided a summary of the video below and images from it above:

Canon C50: An In-Depth First Look

Part 1: Introduction and Market Positioning

The “Gap” in the Market: The video opens by framing the C50 as a camera that “was missing” from Canon’s lineup, suggesting it fills a crucial spot for many creators.
Target Audience: It is primarily designed for the “One Man Band” filmmaker but is also perfectly suited for independent productions, music videos, commercials, and short films.
Direct Competitor: The presenter explicitly compares it to the Sony FX3, positioning the C50 as a more technologically advanced option, benefiting from several years of innovation since the FX3’s release.

Part 2: Design, Ergonomics, and Build

Compact and Modular: The C50 body is lightweight, weighing in at just 640 grams. It features four 1/4-inch mounting points, allowing users to build a rig without needing an external cage.
Controls and Customization:
- It inherits the popular photo/video switch from the R5C for rapid mode changes.
- It boasts over 14 programmable buttons, all ergonomically placed for easy thumb access, similar to the higher-end C80.
- The camera includes two main dials, a third rear dial, and a dedicated joystick for full menu control.
Cooling and Power:
- Side vents, like those on the C80, allow for “unlimited recording” without the risk of overheating.
- It runs on standard LP-E6N batteries and supports USB-C power delivery for continuous operation.
Screen: The 3-inch screen is fully articulating and rotatable, even offering a “selfie mode” for vloggers and solo operators.

Part 3: Sensor, Recording Capabilities, and Key Features

Sensor and Resolution:
- The camera is built around a powerful 32-megapixel sensor.
- It records up to 7K RAW (in both LT and ST formats) at a smooth 50fps.
- It also offers pristine, uncropped 4K recording at up to 120fps.
Dual ISO: The C50 features two base ISO values: 800 and 6400, providing excellent flexibility and clean images in a variety of lighting scenarios.
Simultaneous Recording: A standout feature is its ability to record in two formats at once. For example, you can capture a primary horizontal video for YouTube while simultaneously recording a 9:16 vertical version for social media, saving immense time in post-production.
Media: It includes dual card slots: one for CF Express (for high-bitrate recording) and one for standard SD cards (for backups or proxies).
A Notable Omission: It is important to note that, unlike its bigger C-series siblings, the C50 does not have built-in ND filters.

Part 4: Connectivity and Professional Features

Professional Ports: The C50 is packed with a full suite of professional I/O:
- Standard HDMI output
- USB-C for power and data
- Microphone input and a headphone jack
- External remote input
- A dedicated Timecode port for seamless multi-camera synchronization.
Pro Audio: A redesigned top handle accessory includes two XLR inputs, a record button, and zoom controls. It also features a cold shoe and additional mounting points.
Tally Lights: For professional environments, the camera features multiple tally lights (front, back, and handle) to clearly indicate when it is recording.
Network Connectivity: The C50 has built-in network capabilities, allowing for remote camera control.

Part 5: Stabilization and Photography

Stabilization: While the sensor itself is not mechanically stabilized, the C50 features robust electronic digital stabilization. Crucially, it records gyroscope metadata (roll, tilt, pan), allowing for powerful post-production stabilization with compatible software.
Still Photography: Leveraging its high-resolution sensor, the C50 is also a very capable stills camera, able to capture detailed 32-megapixel RAW photos.

Part 6: Price and Conclusion

With an anticipated price point under €4,000, the Canon C50 is positioned to be an incredibly competitive camera. It packs a 7K internal RAW workflow, uncropped 4K slow motion, and extensive professional customization into a compact, modern body.
